Hi, listeners, it's Jess Betancourt, the host of DNAID, and I'd like to invite you to check out a podcast that I think you're really going to enjoy called Pretend, a true crime documentary podcast hosted by Javier Lava. In each season of Javier's show, he goes deep behind the scenes of some of the strangest stories you'll ever hear to bring you a bird's eye view of the case.

He's covered cults and con men in a documentary style format, and right now, in his new season,

he's tackling the truth behind Frank Abagnall Jr., the Forger and Fraudster famously portrayed

by Leonardo DiCaprio in the hit movie, Catch Me If You Can.

I'm about to play a preview of Pret and Javier's coverage of the real Catch Me If You Can.

After you listen to it, head over to your favorite podcast app and subscribe to Javier's show.

I promise you, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy this preview, and I'll see you back here soon.

Do you remember the movie Catch Me If You Can? Well, apparently, a lot of people think that this movie is based on a true story,

but I found out it's 98% BS. Frank Abagnale says that he posed as an airline pilot, he was a doctor,

and he wrote $2.5 million in bad checks. But after doing a little

digging, it turns out that Frank Abagnale's story is a lie, and I have the documents to prove it.

You see, I've been trying to get Frank Abagnale on my podcast for five years now, so if he won't

come to me, well, I'll just have to go to him.

Hey, Mr. Abagnale, for six years, we invaded the FBI, pretending to be a pilot, a doctor,

a professor.

But how were you able to do that if you were sitting in prison the whole time?

Just recently, I flew out to Vegas and confronted Frank Abagnale after one of his keynote

speeches.

This is the real Catch Me if you can.

And I'm going to expose his lies one by one.

And I have the police records, court records, all the documents I need to prove he's a fraud.

Look for the episode titled The Real Catch Me If You Can.
